I started working with Lola in August. We went out & saw a numerous amount of homes. I was exhausted after doing this for several days lol! She then started previewing homes for me & only asking me to come out when she found homes that fit my needs & wants. We found a place shortly after that & I went under contract. She had a team established to make my transitioning process Extremely easy! Loved my home buying experience because of her!

I did not work with Ms. Jefferson directly on the purchase of my home however I did refer to her for advice on my purchase. Ms. Jefferson?s response was immediate and very professional. She recommended my attorney and home inspector, who were both very experienced and professional as well. I felt more knowledgeable about my purchase after our conversation and would definitely recommend/refer to Ms. Jefferson in the future if needed.

Lola is a fantastic agent. I used her while looking to buy my first condo. She helped me understand the whole buying process and was willing to answer any questions I had no matter how basic. I was pretty paricular about what I was looking for and somehow Lola found many condos that fit my parameters. Even now when I have a question, Lola is quick to answer it and always willing to help me out. I highly reccomend working with Lola.

My experience working with Lola Jefferson has been incredible. She has been with me every step of the way. I was referred to Lola by a longtime friend, after explaining to my friend about my goals in investment property, she insisted that Lola Jefferson was THE agent for me to work with. From my very first conversation with Lola, she was very candid and real with me. She explained that she works with clients with all different types of needs/interests, and expressed the need for us to sit down and discuss what my goals were. We met within 48 hours and laid out a plan. Within a day of our meeting Lola had an entire list of properties to show me, and also some suggestions of things I needed to fix in order to receive a more favorable rate with the bank. We spent an entire day looking at properties that Lola thought would be of interest to me. She has been very thorough throughout the process and I am excited to finish the purchase of my first property, and look forward to working with Lola again. I would recommend Lola to anyone interested in an excellent home-buying experience. Less

I was in the very early stages of home buying. Lola was very personable and resourceful. Unfortunately, I need more time financially to purchase the type of home I would like. I will use Lola once I reach my financial goal!

Lola helped me locate rental property for my business. She was very through and knowledgeable during the process. She provided me with a very helpful property comparison worksheet. Lola's professionalism was very impressive and I would definitely use her in the future.

I had a great experience with Lola. Last year I was in the market to purchase a home, Lola showed me everything on the market that fit my needs & wants. Because of the market I decided to hold off on the purchasing for a few more years, but I definitely will use and recommend Lola for all my real estate dealings.

I contacted Ms Jefferson on a Thursday August 25th to see a property located at 1320 Brummel in Evanston. She quickly responded back saying she was out of town but that she would be happy to show me around upon her return. On Friday August 26th I sent her another email saying that I would be happy to meet with her upon her return and that if she had an associate I would be willing to speak with them while she was away. She emailed back that she would let me know later in the day as to what she would be able to do. I've never heard back from her. Less

Response from Lola Jefferson
I did everything in my power to show bob his requested unit. Unfortunately the agents I contacted were not available on such short notice. I am sorry that me being on vacation had such a negative effect on your real estate experience.

Even though we were Lola's first clients back in 2009, she was very knowledgeable. We will definitely use her as our agent when we move (hopefully) next year. She has also been great in answering our questions we had in a timely manner, and always has great advice about home owning process. We have recommended her to friends and family who are interested in buying and/or selling a home. She is the best!

I met Lola in 2008 when i first started my home search. At that time I wasn't able to buy due to credit issues, but Lola continued to work with me anyway. For a year she coached me and told me how to improve my credit score and how to save money. In January of 2009 I was finally read to purchase a home and I had saved a ton of money and I had improved my credit score enough to qualify for a mortgage loan. Lola was very patient and attentive throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to my wants and needs and matched me to properties that she knew I would be interested in. In May of 2009 , I purchased a home that I loved and could afford. Lola is personable, professional, responsible and hardworking. She makes all of her clients feel as if they are number one and she always goes above and beyond. Less

Lola was great helping me through the home buying process. Before we ever met, I told her what I desired in a home. She proceeded to thoroughly design and create a booklet of specific homes in my desired areas that fitted my requests and needs. We proceeded to search all said homes until arriving upon a home that fit was I was looking for. After finding a home that fitted my needs, Lola was diligent in negotiating a deal that best fit my financial portfolio. Would definitely recommend Lola to all future homebuyers. Less

From the beginning I was very impressed on the professionalism that was shown from Lola Jefferson. Whenever there was a question that was needed answering I had no problem calling and getting a immediate answer. And if she couldn?t answer she was able to get back to in a prompt manor. When I?m able to buy another house Lola Jefferson will be the first person I will call.

As a first-time renter, Lola made the process of finding an apartment very enjoyable and hassle-free for me. Lola also worked very quickly and efficiently with helping me to find a place, as I was in a time-crunch do to unexpected situation. Lola was able to find me EXACTLY what I was looking for within one week and by the following week I was able to sign my lease. Honestly, I am almost certain that it would have been much more difficult for me to obtain the condo that I rented if it had not been for Lola. As a recent college graduate, with not-to-great credit, securing that condo in that area would have been much more for challenge, despite my adequate income. However, with her superior professionalism and the ReMax name, Lola represented me in such a way that I was almost immediately approved for the rental. I have since recommended everyone that I know to Lola, whether they are in the market for a rental or a purchase becuase I am extremely confident that Lola consistently provides 5-star service to every client.

As a first time home buyer, Lola made it so easy! I would email her questions at 11pm and she would respond right away! She still gives me little tips and advise about owning a house that are very helpful. I would absolutely recommend Lola to anyone looking into buying a home. Especially first time buyers!

I could write an essay about our first-time home buying experience with Lola. To be concise, she made the entire process very smooth. It was more exciting than stressful. We obviously had many questions. She was not only quick to respond but made sure we understood what she was saying. One of the most notable parts of our experience was her taking the time to understand our wants vs. needs, and using that information appropriately in the selection of properties to show us. In the end, she found us a home that exceeded our wants and needs?AND stayed under our budget! I truly don't think we could have had a better experience with anyone else. Less
